    I have a chance to drive for K&B Transport , but i have read a lot of bad reports on them on the internet. Can anyone out here confirm if they are as horrible as i have been reading about i don't wanna make a choice i will regret either way.

    If you want to be run like a dog and get cheated out of pay then all I can say is go for it. I have a very close freind who for reasons I'll never understand stuck it out wit K&B for for years then one day he topped a trailer in NY. and they fired him, no questions asked. they ar very stricked and run you hard, and don't worry about home time there is non. Good Luck.

    Thx Roadhammer i have read way to many negative things about this company , so i am definitely not going to go to work for them.

    I just got hired on with what seems to be a great company by the name of Gray Transportation outta Waterloo,IA so i am really stoked about that!!

    Thanks again your your helpful advice i will definitely heed it take of yourself and be safe.

    I spoke to them once and their recruiter was very rude and said in so may words there's no way they can hire me because I'm in the National Guard and they didn't want the "burden" as he called it, of getting me home for drill once a month. Needless to say I wasn't pleased. I think if they have the balls to treat a veteran like that I can't imagine how they treat their drivers.

    You could sue the heck out of them. They can't discriminate against you because you are in the Guard.

    No they cannot. You have a really easy lawsuit to win. I for one know that discrimination against us military members for that reason is very very very illegal and you can file a lawsuit for that.
